Asymmetric Wage Adjustment and Employment in European Firms [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2017
Abstract We explore the impact of wage adjustment on employment with a focus on the role of downward nominal wage rigidities. We use a harmonised survey dataset, which covers 25 European countries in the period 2010–2013. These data are particularly useful for this paper given the firm-level information on the change in economic ...

Smooth transitions, asymmetric adjustment and unit roots [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Economics Letters, 2014
The aim of this paper is to develop a unit root test that takes into account two sources of nonlinearites in data, i.e. asymmetric speed of mean reversion and structural changes. The asymmetric speed of mean reversion is modeled by means of a exponential smooth transition autoregression (ESTAR) function for the autoregressive parameter, whereas ...

How robust is the optimistic update bias for estimating self-risk and population base rates? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Humans hold unrealistically optimistic predictions of what their future holds. These predictions are generated and maintained as people update their beliefs more readily when receiving information that calls for adjustment in an optimistic direction ...
